Canyonlands National Park, Maze District, October 2014

My son Kevin has been wanting to take me on a trip into Canyonlands back country for some time. I finally agreed, but in the Fall so it is not super hot! This is a trip to the Maze district of the park that is really remote and very few people go there, but it is well worth the effort to get there! You have to have a 4x4 with high clearance and really know what you are doing as it would be very easy to get lost or run into trouble! Since Kevin leads tours into this area for Navtec Expeditions, in Moab, Utah, I didn't have to worry about that part! I am posting this as a sub-gallery for each day of the trip as they each are very different.

Note: Most captions are in. I still need to find out what to say for some!
